When the coon in the top OF the tree called to
Davy Crockett at the base of Ii, "Dcnt shoot,
coloneli I'll come down" did the hunter draw the
charge from his rife or throw away his powder
horn? Not bit OF 1t. He politely but forcbly re-
minded the coon that "soft words butter no pars-
nips' and that seeing is believing" He had
heard that same old coon before, perhaps, and
knew pretty well how much Its professions were
worth.
The people OF Georgetown are just as 10th to ac-
cept the local gas company's concessions OF
twenty five cents q thousand as nnal disposal OF
the gas question west OF the creek. The coon has
Quilted the top OF the tree 1t is true, but 1T has
come down only one limb. 1t must drop three
times far as IT has yet dropped before the peo-
pie viii lower their guns.
Both the Georgetown and the Washington Gas
light companies had better make up their mind to
descend gracefully while there is Jet time, and
save themselves trouble. The experience OF cor
porations which have tried both methods is uni
form in commenting the gOOd-natured surrender
10 a righteous popular demand as preferable TO a
forced Investigation, every time. The questions
asked by o1cial iDquisitorS are not only hard tn
answer, but the facts and figures drawn out by
them have u way az ClInging in the public memory
and cropping UP IN the most embarrassing way
years afterward. when it Is supposed that they
are gone and forgotten for ever.
